Cristiano Ronaldo’s late header was all that was needed to give Portugal the narrow first-leg lead in the world cup play-off played against Sweden yesterday in Lisbon.
The Real Madrid forward got the decisive goal when he stooped low to head in Miguel Veloso’s superb cross. Up until then they were frustrated by a disciplined Sweden side, who went close through Johan Elmander, Sebastian Larsson and Kim Kallstrom.
The second leg will take place at Solna’s Friends Arena on Tuesday.
That promises to be another fascinating contest between two sides, with the impetus now on Sweden to attack, having set their stall out to defend for long periods during the first leg.
